June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Treatment for Idea 2
1. Title:
Family Feud
2. Length of the film:
5 – 10 minutes
3. Tagline:
The voice in your head don’talways tell the truth.
4. Key Characters:
Main Character: 17 year old teenage boy.
The older brother: His 21 year old brother.
The mother: 44 year old mother.
The father: 48 year old father.
5. Synopsis;
Act 1:
The brother (Erdem Celik) comes home with his bike. (Shootsof him riding
the bike around town and going home). When hegets home his mum greets
him saying the dinner is ready, they then wait for Eren (the main character) to
get home. When he does they all sit down in the kitchen for dinner.
They all have a conversation about how their day has been and the mother
says that they will have a family talk after dinner, Eren and Erdem moan about
stuff they have to do and resistbut give up when father (Erol Celik) tells them
to quit being a child.
They all sit down in the living room and starttalking about what they have
done that day.
Act 2:
Their mother asks questions thatmake them uncomfortabledeliberately as
both teenagers keep talking. Mother asks Eren why he is late and as Eren
finishes his sentence about staying in schoolto do morerevision a voice
suddenly comes and tells the family what he had justsaid is a lie and that he
2. ditched the schooland was actually at a friend’s housefor the whole day
playing video games.
The whole family goes into shock when they hear the voice, they all get
confused whether the voice is a prank made by one of the teenagers or
something else. They try to communicate with the voice but the voice does not
respond to their questions and only comes back with more truth from the
brother then eventually the whole family has their beans spilled.
During the talk with the voice funny moments occur and the conflict between
family members cause them to lose trust to one another. The biggest shock
comes when the parents learn that the teenagers would often run away at
nights to go out for partying in clubs with friends.
Act 3:
Parents get very disappointed in their children but also get upset that
teenagers now know whatthey have been hiding from them. They realise they
have being doing things that they told their children not to do. Teenagers also
realise that everyonemakes mistakes and tell lies as they have seen from their
parents.
Family quietly talks through how they all feel guilty from doing what they
have done and decide to never lie to each other again. They all hug each other
and cheer up again. Just as they sit down the voice drops the biggest lie of
them all. That the father had been cheating on his wife. The father then says
“Well shi*”.
6. Target Audience:
Target audience is all groups of ages. The shortfilm is going to be a family
movie as it will consistof young and middle aged people. For older people
however it may not be as interesting as it’ll be for a teenager as there are no
characters in the movie that will relate to the older generation.
I will reach to my target audience by including scenes of jokes that are aimed
at teenagers and also include real life problems that adults can relate.
7. Formand Style:
I will need a digital camera that will help me edit the footage easier and
quicker. I will also need a tripod to make surethat there is no movement in
3. between the scenes and so that the audience will have the best quality footage
possible.
8. Marketplace:
As this will be a solo film I see this film as a way of recognition amongstother
directors and movies. Itwill be a good laugh for everybody thatwill watch it as
it will hopefully remind the audience abouttheir lives and similar experiences
they may havehad.
